Franco and Arnold Schwarzenegger on the set of "Conan"

I resently went to Franco Columbu's website, his a great bodybuilder of the 60's Arnold's best friend.

He has won:
1968 NABBA Mr. Universe (Most Muscular)

1969 IFBB Mr. Universe (Short)
1969 NABBA Mr. Universe (Short)

1976 IFBB Mr. Olympia
1981 IFBB Mr. Olympia

He was 5' 5" (165cm)
weighting 83kg

Known for his very musclar look and thick waist line. Also for been the strongest bodybuilder ever.

World Records in Powerlifting:
• Bench Press 520 lbs. (236kg)

Anyway back to my main subject I found his website rather different, a nice option of your *strength* of bandwidth and then if your "strong" you get a flash based version, which is really quite fancy and with its own desktop feel to it. Only problem is that it's not very good in FireFox it seems to not be centered.

I like the way that the flash version is just an improvement of the html version so there is no loss of data for the html only people. Also the loading isn't slow and everything is loaded by it self so you load what you want.

Today his a Doctor of Chiropractic, film actor and film producer.

He has acted in many films with Arnold:
Stay Hungry
Conan the Barbarian
The Terminator (the future terminator)
The Running Man

And:
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) (body building coach)

End of Days (stunts)
Eraser (stunts)
